Hello Admin. I have gone through basics , Yilu and all four energy alignment videos. I would now like to learn precise footwork. Can you please help me and tell me which video to purchase next? Sorry if I missed something but I feel if I now don’t get my footwork right in Yilu I will be practising wrong. Thank you.
Hi Asad, if you like, we can find some time to set up a video chat to answer some of your basic questions on footwork. Please email me at kelvin.ho@kawai.ca if you are interested.
Hello dear Admin,
some questions please: I want to buy a hardcopy from basic foundations video. Is there a possibility to get it by download instead of mail? And is “Body Structure” buyable as a hardcopy too?
Many thanks,
Martin
For the moment, I keep watching the videos, as they are more illustrative, than the reading, but I don’t forget reading. By combining both activities, I feel I am getting “baby-steps” in Tai Ji.
Hi, I participated to the Prague 2016 workshop.
It was told that in about 2 moths a video and photos of the workshop would be available in MyFolder section. However I can not see them.
Where can I found it?
Thank you.
Could you please provide instructions on how to download the HunYuan detail video I recently purchased? I don’t see any obvious instructions on the site. Thank you.
thank you Paul Jenssen for bring Master Chen for Sydney to teach us his taiji. I have always wanted to learn taiji as one of my last building block since the last 15 years of martial arts. I have not the fortune to meet one till I saw & experience Master Chen’s hands. Then I knew he was the man I was seeking throughout the years despite having met & known many masters. Beside his skills, Master Chen’s wisdom , sense of humor and his quick wit always impress me. I believed that I can learn to be a complete martial artist & better person if I have the opportunity and fortune to receive his tutelage.
Since learning PM taiji over the last 3 years, I am unsure how many principles I am lacking at the moment but I have understand & surface scratched the 2 principles of “don’t move” & “separation of Ying yang”. Now is the time for me to practice & perfect them. I have experiment them on my judoka mates with satisfactory results. I can only improve on this line. thank you once again Master Chen. we look forward to your Sydney trip once again. thank you
Hello Admin, I bought access to the Hun Yuan Qigong video, but would like to download it since I don’t always have access to the internet. How can I do that? Nine bows, Regards, Carry
Today, I watched the video of Coach Chen Xu’s explanation on fist draping over body , only to realize that it is very important to grasp the details. It turned out that I only did the movements with both hands in isolation, and did not cooperate with the rotation of the two Kua . Suddenly, I felt tired when I was doing as what the coach said with in conjunction with my hand’s actions. Then coach Chen also said that the dropping hand could not be retreated,when doing the reverse circle, and dropped directly. I would not do it at all. After trying for a long time, I felt a little bit better. The most uncomfortable is the following one. The strength of the hand is extended outward. The strength of the elbow is to go inward . I have practiced many times. I understands what the coach said. yet it seems impossible to do it.This will truly appreciate the charm of practical method. The awkward movement became unawkward, and I thought about what Chen Zhonghua said, so I started practicing over and over again, and then gradually improved a lot. My physical control ability was better. Only then did I realize the importance of practicing foundation and understand that the seemingly simple negative circle is not simple. It contains great theories from Tai Chi. After studying the video carefully, I found out that with the coach’s guidance, how important it is for us to learn practical method,we can not be confused. We can also take less detours and protect our bodies. During this very epidemic period, we will live more gracefully and healthily. I am fortunate to be a member of the practical method family. I will walk down this avenue of light, no matter how hard and difficult.

On video 3 (of 6) of the Yilu 6 video series, the video stops at “kick with right foot” #39, every time I play it. I bypass the problem by moving the cursor forward a bit. The message says my browser does not support some feature the video is using. But it plays all others no problem. Just for your information and if there is a fix for this please let me know

Great class tonight with Aaron Bartholemew. foundations. starting to get a better understanding , but a great class.
I have started with the practical method, and just getting the main concepts is a slow work, but I keep at it.
For the moment, I keep watching the videos, as they are more illustrative, than the reading, but I don’t forget reading. By combining both activities, I feel I am getting “baby-steps” in Tai Ji.
